Health certificate for Burkina Faso: what and why
An export health certificate confirms that a consignment of food or animal products was inspected and is fit for human consumption. It is common for meat, seafood, dairy, eggs, honey and processed food. Health certificates for food and animal products are issued by the competent Indian authority for the product, such as export inspection or animal quarantine authorities.
Food imports into African markets are checked against health requirements, and legalised certificates help clear consignments without delay.
In Burkina Faso, a legalised health certificate is typically requested for food import clearance; it is also used for veterinary or food safety approval and retail and distributor registration.
A health certificate issued in India is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Burkina Faso in New Delhi.
